    CA Nimisha Shah Unveils Her Debut Book, Empowering Entrepreneurship: For the Entrepreneur Who Strives to Create Not Just a Business, but a Better Way of Making Business Work

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 12: Renowned Chartered Accountant and business efficiency strategist CA Nimisha Shah is set to launch her much-anticipated debut book, Empowering Entrepreneurship: Achieve Sustainable Success by Mastering Mindset, Habits, and Efficiency, on August 15, 2025.

    In today’s fast-moving business world, great ideas and funding alone aren’t enough—what truly sets successful entrepreneurs apart is a strong inner foundation and the discipline to turn vision into reality. Empowering Entrepreneurship offers exactly that: a practical, inside‑out guide designed to help founders and business owners move beyond daily firefighting and build enterprises that are resilient, purposeful, and future-ready.

    Drawing on nearly two decades of experience working with multinational organisations, leading cross-functional teams, and driving operational excellence, Nimisha brings together real-world frameworks, relatable case stories, and actionable strategies. At its heart, the book helps entrepreneurs master the three pillars that fuel long-term, meaningful success: Mindset, Habits, and Efficiency.

    “Mindset is the lens. Habits are the hands. Efficiency is the engine. Together, they empower entrepreneurs to lead with confidence and create lasting impact,” says CA Nimisha Shah.

    What makes this book stand out is its blend of practical strategies, relatable stories, and thoughtful prompts that encourage entrepreneurs to look inward before pushing outward. Nimisha Shah wrote Empowering Entrepreneurship to address a real, often overlooked gap: while many entrepreneurs have creativity and ambition, they lack the structured mindset frameworks, disciplined habits, and operational systems that larger organisations rely on. And it’s often not brilliance, but execution and process, that turn an idea into a scalable, sustainable business. This book bridges that gap—helping entrepreneurs replace reactive hustle with intentional, resilient growth.

    Empowering Entrepreneurship isn’t here to promise overnight miracles. Instead, it offers something far more powerful: a guide to help entrepreneurs align their inner drive with practical execution—so they can transform potential into real, resilient performance.

    In the end, it’s about building not just businesses, but future-ready legacies. And it all starts from within.

  • Cranberries: A Nutritional Powerhouse for Gut and Overall Health

    Cranberries: A Nutritional Powerhouse for Gut and Overall Health

    New Delhi [India], August 12: Cranberries are increasingly recognised as a vital part of a balanced diet, with growing research pointing to their benefits for gut health and overall well-being. An extensive review of healthy foods places cranberries on a short list of dietary choices known to positively impact the gut microbiome and promote long-term health.

    Cranberries in Daily Nutrition

    Though most cranberries in the U.S. are harvested between September and October, their nutritional value can be accessed year-round through various forms — juice, fresh, sauce, or dried. Each form provides comparable benefits when consumed in the following amounts:

    • 8 oz. serving of 27% cranberry juice cocktail
    • 2 oz. serving of 100% cranberry juice
    • ¼ cup fresh or frozen cranberries (0.9 g fibre)
    • ¼ cup US cranberry sauce (0.76 g fibre)
    • 1/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries (2.79 g fibre)

    These forms offer flexibility, ensuring cranberries can be incorporated into both everyday meals and specialised diets.

    Addressing Cranberry’s Natural Tartness

    Cranberries have minimal natural sugar, which contributes to their tart flavour. Sweeteners are often added to enhance palatability, but alternatives exist for those monitoring sugar intake. “Light” cranberry products provide a sweeter taste with reduced sugar, while 100% cranberry juice offers a tangy, unsweetened option. This pure juice can be diluted with seltzer or blended into other beverages. Unsweetened cranberry forms also integrate well into smoothies, salads, or hot cereals, making them easy to include in a healthy eating plan.

    Bioactive Compounds and Health Benefits

    What sets cranberries apart from other berries is their rich content of A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs), bioactive compounds that play a key role in inhibiting bacterial adhesion within the body. This unique property is linked to a variety of health benefits, from supporting urinary tract health to promoting overall immunity.

    Cranberries also rank at the top of the berry family in terms of PAC concentration. Compared to other anthocyanin-containing berries, cranberry anthocyanins are particularly bioavailable, meaning the body can absorb and utilise them more efficiently.

    A Year-Round Health Ally

    Whether consumed fresh, dried, as juice, or as sauce, cranberries stand out as one of the most beneficial berries for long-term health. Their potent combination of fibre, bioactive compounds, and versatility makes them a valuable addition to modern diets aimed at gut health, immunity, and overall wellness.

  • Mega Tinkering Day 2025 Turned 4.7 Lakh Indian Students into Inventors

    Mega Tinkering Day 2025 Turned 4.7 Lakh Indian Students into Inventors

    New Delhi [India], August 12: Only in India could a vacuum cleaner become the hero of the day. On August 12, 2025, classrooms from the wind-whipped mountains of Leh to the coconut-scented breezes of Kanyakumari were buzzing, quite literally. In one school, a bottle-and-motor contraption wheezed to life, earning a round of applause. In another, the suction was so strong it almost swallowed the chalk. This was Mega Tinkering Day, an audacious, joy-filled experiment led by the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) under NITI Aayog, uniting 4,73,350 students from 9,467 schools in India’s biggest-ever hands-on building spree.

    Mega Tinkering Day 2025 - India - PNN

    India Builds Together

    The challenge was simple enough to explain to a curious grandparent but tricky enough to keep an entire class hooked: build a working vacuum cleaner using only everyday lab materials. The how-to came via a live online session, but the magic happened in the improvisation.

    In Manipur, a group discovered that a bent plastic spoon made an excellent airflow guide. In Bhuj, one young scientist proudly announced, “It’s cleaning… but in reverse!” to which the teacher replied, “Well, now it’s a blower.” From the valleys of Kashmir to the banks of the Cauvery, students tinkered, adjusted, failed, laughed, and tried again, all in the same hour.

    This wasn’t about making the perfect appliance. It was about proving that innovation doesn’t care where you are on the map. Remote villages, busy cities, border towns, all part of one giant, nation-sized workshop.

    No Suits, Just Sleeves Rolled Up

    The AIM team didn’t just orchestrate the event; they joined in. Mission Director Deepak Bagla himself tinkered on-screen, holding up his half-finished model with a grin. His words carried both pride and purpose:

    “In line with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of Viksit Bharat, where innovation and youth are one of the driving forces of national transformation, Mega Tinkering Day 2025 is a milestone demonstration of grassroots innovation.”

    It’s not every day that the head of a national mission swaps conference tables for glue guns, but it sent a clear message: this was about participation, not perfection.

    The Bigger Picture Behind the Fun

    Since its inception, AIM has set up over 10,000 Atal Tinkering Labs, spaces filled with 3D printers, robotics kits, IoT devices, and enough tools to make any science enthusiast’s heart race. But as every teacher knows, gadgets are only half the story.

    The other half is the spark that comes when a student realises, “Wait… I can make this work.”

    Mega Tinkering Day served as the starting whistle for a year packed with challenges, mentorships, and student-led problem-solving projects. It was also a loud, cheerful reminder that science isn’t just something to be memorised, it’s something to be played with, questioned, and built upon.

    The Joy of Imperfect Suction

    Sure, some vacuum cleaners roared like champions. Others wheezed, sputtered, and politely refused to pick up so much as a paperclip. But in every case, the students walked away having learned more than they could have from any chapter heading.

    As one teacher in Arunachal Pradesh put it, “Today they didn’t just learn about circuits, they learned that mistakes are just the first step to making something work.” And somewhere in a classroom in Mizoram, a proud student was probably still holding up a duct-taped contraption, certain it could clean the whole school if only given the chance.

    Looking Ahead

    For AIM, this wasn’t a one-off stunt. The coming months will see more such nation-wide challenges, pushing students to solve problems rooted in their own communities. The hope is to normalise creation the way we’ve normalised cricket, something everyone can take part in, wherever they are.

    Because on August 12, India didn’t just run an event. It reminded itself that when you give young minds tools, trust, and a tiny spark, they don’t just build gadgets, they build confidence. And in the long run, that might just be the most powerful invention of all.

  • Afcom sets Historic Benchmark in Transshipment at Velana International Airport

    Afcom sets Historic Benchmark in Transshipment at Velana International Airport

    Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], August 12: AFCOM Holdings Limited (AFCOM), (BSE – 544224), an integrated air cargo solutions company with operations across domestic and international routes. 

    Afcom Holdings Limited is proud to announce a historic achievement at Velana International Airport (MLE), having uplifted the highest-ever volume of transshipment cargo into the airport’s history during July 2025. This milestone not only underlines Afcom’s pivotal role in the region’s logistics ecosystem but also signals a new era of strategic growth in transshipment operations through the Maldives.

    July 2025 marked a turning point for MLE, with transshipment volumes surging to their highest levels ever recorded in a single month. At the heart of this surge was Afcom, which emerged as the highest contributor, playing a defining role in propelling Velana International Airport to this landmark achievement.

    From a modest share at the beginning of the year, Afcom has demonstrated exceptional growth within just half a year, now commanding a significant and growing portion of MLE’s monthly transshipment volume. This rapid and steady rise underscores the company’s unwavering focus on operational excellence, strategic market expansion, and strong collaboration with key stakeholders across the cargo supply chain.

    Afcom’s performance is aligned with MLE’s vision to establish itself as a key air transshipment hub in the Indian Ocean aviation corridor. With a continued emphasis on efficiency, infrastructure, and innovative service offerings, both Afcom and MACL (Maldives Airports Company Limited) are committed to advancing the region’s air cargo potential.

    As the logistics landscape evolves, Afcom remains focused on expanding trade flows, enhancing connectivity, and creating value-added solutions that serve the dynamic needs of global commerce.

    Commenting on this milestone, Mr. Hussain Shafiu, Manager, Cargo Department of Maldives Airports Co. (Velana International Airport), said:

    “We are excited to share that July 2025 was a notable month for us at Velana International Airport, with the highest ever transshipment volume handled in our airport’s history. Afcom has been a key contributor to this success, having uplifted the highest volume of transshipment cargo into MLE in July 2025.

    As transshipment continues to be a key pillar of our cargo strategic focus, MACL remains committed to working closely with Afcom and providing the necessary support to further grow this market segment.

    We would greatly value Afcom’s input on how we can further grow the transshipment potential through MLE—be it by exploring new trade flows, improving ground efficiency, or creating customized service models.”

    Commenting on this milestone, Capt. Deepak Parasuraman, Chairman & Managing Director of AFCOM Holdings Limited, said:

    “We are proud to have played a leading role in achieving the highest ever transshipment volume handled at Velana International Airport. This accomplishment is a testament to the agility, precision, and dedication of our operations team, as well as the strength of our partnerships with stakeholders across the region.

    Transshipment has become a critical pillar of our growth strategy, with the Maldives serving as a strategic junction point in our expanding regional network. Our growing share of MLE’s transshipment volumes demonstrates our focus on optimizing air cargo flows across high-potential corridors linking South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

    This milestone also validates our belief in the long-term potential of multimodal cargo flow through MLE. As we look ahead, Afcom remains committed to deepening its transshipment capabilities, driving network-wide efficiencies, and working closely with MACL and other partners to further unlock regional and intercontinental cargo corridors.

    We see this not as a peak, but as a foundation for the next phase of growth.”
